Academic background:
- PhD Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, University of Alberta (2006)
- MSc Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, University of Alberta (2004)
Research interests:
My research focuses on the application of remote sensing (satellite and airborne imagery) to environmental and forensic questions. I am particularly interested in historical land use change as documented by early Earth Observation data as well as airborne hyperspectral imagery and high resolution UAV videography.听
